Fillable Form Form 907 (Rev. 1-2001)

What is Form 907?

Form 907, Agreement to Extend the Time to Bring Suit, is an agreement form issued by the IRS to allow taxpayers to request an extension in the time they have to file a refund of an overpaid tax.

In general, a taxpayer only has three years of filing the tax and within two years of the overpayment. The IRS Form 907, however, can extend that when that time expires.

There are different sets of instructions when filling out the 907 IRS Form depending on the taxpayer.

If you are filing the IRS tax form 907 for any years with a joint return, both you and your spouse must sign this form in both its original form and its copy. You or your spouse can also sign this form by yourselves if you are acting as an agent under a power of attorney. If you and your spouse are in the latter type of arrangement, attach the power of attorney document to the 907 Form.

If you are an attorney or an agent that is signing the 907 IRS Form on behalf of an individual, attach the power of attorney legal form, if you have not filed one.

If you are acting as a fiduciary signing this agreement such as an executor, administrator, or a trustee, attach Form 56, Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship, if you have not yet filed one.

If the agreement is to be filed by a corporation, make sure that this agreement is signed with the name of the corporation followed by the signature of either the president, vice-president, treasurer, assistant treasurer, or any other officer that is authorized to deal with the taxes and financial affairs of the corporation.

Submitting Form 907

The 907 Form must be submitted with a statement of issues that will help in the justification of your request for extension. These issues should be concerning the claims for the refund or credit of taxes.

Note that Form 907 will not be effective until the appropriate IRS official signs the agreement on behalf of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Therefore, it is advised by the IRS to protect your interests in this matter by filing suit (or taking legal action) at any time before this agreement is signed.
